I would like to ask all of you a question. Do you not pick and choose as an atheist? You say God is evil but where are you getting your standard for what is evil? I can say something is evil because I have an absolute standard on what I base evil off of which is God and what He says about himself. So where are you getting you standard of evil from?
I was born lacking any sort of belief or knowledge in/of a deity and I've remained so thus far.
It's not really fair to call it a choice. I have a minimum level/standard when it comes to claims I want evidence for, and thus far no god's have ever even come close to reaching that minimum level.
So it'd be more correct to say that I've remained an atheist thus far because there's been no reason given to me to make me think my stance is incorrect.
